I'll post what do my entire family think about anime lol:
-My mom only likes Candy Candy and Heidi because she watched them when she was a kid.
-My dad doesn't know anything IIRC.
-My stepfather and I watched Fate/Zero together and we both agree that Broskander is the best character. He also watched Death Note.
-My uncle is a fan of Ghibli films, Berserk, Attack on Titan, DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc. The only member of the family besides me that really likes anime.
-My other uncle only has watched DBZ, Saint Seiya and Death Note.

They think its bad that I'm addicted to it which is why I forced them and they tried to watch some of my faves. In the end they said that anime is fun and amazing but getting addicted to it is just wrong and that I'm wasting my life haha

The "Crazy" is an adverb btw.

Basically. But once my mom kind of implied that I like watching 'cartoons' so maybe thats how my mom sees it.

They don't know what anime is, and if they ever see a picture of an anime character (such as one saved on my phone) they ask me "Why do you have a picture from DBZ / Pokemon?"

..They're not very well informed.

My parents still can't pronounce Naruto properly. As in, they pronounce it like how they pronounce it in the English dub: Na-RU-toe.

Now, they don't even know how enthusiastic I am about watching. They think I'm doing college papers instead of writing reviews. Sorry parents.

KIDS SHOW! -_-"

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TELL THEM, THEY STILL THINK ANIME IS ONLY FOR KIDS. IF I LET THEM SEE THE 17+ ONES, THEY WILL SAY NOT TO WATCH IT RATHER THAN ADMIT IT THAT ANIME IS NOT ONLY FOR KIDS.

I'm getting tired of doing that, so, whatever everyone say about anime, i don't give a fuck. i enjoy it and i like it and i keep watching it.

Show them the first scene of Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, they probably don't call it childish anymore after seeing that.

Both my parents realize it's for all ages. My Dad has rented Ghost in the Shell before and stuff and once I rented a Studio Ghibli movie called "The Wind Rises" which is about WWII planes and he loves WWII planes so we both watched it. They also realized that there is kids anime as I grew up with Pokemon. My Dad also tried Attack on Titan once and he didn't get why it was so popular, I admit I liked the show but I kinda agree with him, it's overrated.

My sister (who is 16) was watching Durarara off Netflix in the living room once and he commented that it was violent (which is ironic because he watches "The Walking Dead") If I had been watching it he probably wouldn't have said as much, he's probably still not used to seeing her watch stuff more mature than Barbie movies anyway.

My parents are also aware that I watch it but they don't care.

My Mom does like to watch the old seasons of Pokemon because she watched it a lot because I would watch it as a kid and my sister re-watched it recently so she saw a lot of it. I have watched some Studio Ghibli movies with her like "The Cat Returns" and she though they were ok but she could never really get into them.

I intend to rent another Ghibli movie "Whispers of the Heart" sometime, I think she will probably like that one as it's never over-the-top and it heavily features a song that she likes.

Though one time some guy at school said the trunk of his car was full of Manga and I was telling my sister about it and my mom overheard and automatically jumped to the conclusion that they were nasty (I guess she meant Hentai) since he was keeping them in his trunk, I don't know, his might have been lol.

My mother watched and enjoyed Death Note a long while ago but calls any other anime 'Those weird Japanese Cartoons'.

My Father couldn't give two shits about it.

With Manga they just pester me and constantly ask 'Why are you reading those weird backwards books?'. That or they ask me how I read them backwards.

My mom (sort of ) likes Studio Ghibli movies so I always take her ( drag her ) to see them. We watch anime sometimes together but she doesn't like it that much.
One time my mom said that she wanted to watch an anime with cute guys so... I told her she could watch a reverse harem ○_0 Thankfully she forgot.

My dad used to be a pretty big anime fan (He was one of those guys who bought complete series on DVDs and he has a huge collection of them). He used to watch the DBZ franchise with my brother and I because we were all obsessed with that back in the day.

My mom occasionally watched DBZ with us and wondered why we were wasting our time with "such garbage".

That's the extent to which my parents know anime.

My mother likes Studio Ghibli films, and watched most of One Piece, watched Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul and Attack On Titan. She takes suggestions sometimes from me and she might watch a series if I tell her about it. She also thinks Makoto Tachibana is cute. Nice, Mom.
However, once I saw merch of an anime with kanji on it and jokingly said I should buy it. She said no- something about the past with Korea and Japan, being Korean and all.

Dad doesn't really mind, but if he knew about hentai/yuri/yaoi, he wouldn't let me watch anime anymore probably.

Whenever my mom hears a girl with the typical high-pitched voice from an Anime she assumes I'm watching cartoon porn. Naturally, I spend most of my time watching hentai in her eyes XD

"It's just a bunch of drawings right?"

Well not wrong, but then technically action Sci-Fi movies would just be "a bunch of computer graphics".
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.
